Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

1 hour (1.5 credits) lecture
Contents:General introduction: definition of analytical chemistry, types of analytical problems, block diagram and performance characteristics of analytical methods.
Analytical measuring systems: Measurement of electrical quantities and methods of digitizing: voltage, current, resistance, frequency; digitizing by dual-slope or successive approximation, Nyquist theorem.
Principles of transducing (discussion of different calibration functions relating to sensitivity and dynamic range): potentiometry (Nernst equation, matrix effects depending on ionic strength, electrodes of first and second order, chemical field effect transistor ChemFET, examples: glass electrode, nitrate - ion-specific electrode, identification of cations), amperometry, electrogravimetry.
Optical measurement (absorption, fluorescence, photoacoustics).
Signal processing: reduction of disturbances by lock-in amplifier, improving signal to noise ratio by averaging, smoothing, analogue and digital filtering, (Fourier analysis and Fourier transformation). Statistical data preparation: uncertainty of results, statistical and systematic error, mean square deviation and bias, significant digits and error propagation, Gauss distribution, confidence region of means, tests for outliers, F-test, t-test, calibration plots.
